Shada Brazile is congratulated by fans after winning the barrel racing event during the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo on Saturday, Feb. 23, 2013.

Minutes before she bolts into the AT&T rodeo arena with her horse, Dial It Fast, Shada Brazile, clad in a violet pearl-snap shirt with zebra trim, scrapes any pebbles from the inside of her 6-year-old gelding's hooves with a pick. Her event, Women's Barrel Racing, is starting soon.

“You don't want any rocks jammed in there between his shoe,” she says, smiling.

Brazile, 33, has a lot of smile about. She's married to Trevor Brazile, who holds the record for most All-Around Championship titles (10) and has PRCA career earnings totaling more than $4.5 million. She has two beaming children, Treston, 5, and Style, 2. And she's about to win the Women's Barrel Race event for the evening, running Dial It Fast through the course in a scant 14.06 seconds.

Brazile has her hands full as a wife and mother, but the Decatur resident says she still finds time to design baby clothes for Wrangler.

“When I got pregnant with Treston, I was looking for cute Western wear for children, and it wasn't out there,” Brazile says. Undeterred, she started designing a line of Western-style baby clothes and sold her designs to Wrangler, calling it All-Around Baby, in reference to her champion cowboy husband. Brazile had some experience modeling for Wrangler in the past, as well as modeling for Western-wear brands Justin and Cripple Creek. For All-Around Baby, she designs pearl-snap onesies to pair with baby blue jeans, as well as western-print dresses for girls.

“It's something I can do on the road,” she says about designing baby clothes for Wrangler. She travels with her children and her husband to rodeos all over the U.S. throughout the year.

Now, in the moments before her event, she confesses that she has a bout of nerves before every rodeo ride.
